ALBENGA

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 493 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: AJA-ALL
ALBENGA , a town and episcopal see of Liguria, Italy, on the N.W.
coast
  of the Gulf of Genoa, in the province of Genoa, 522 m. S.W. of Genoa by rail. Pop. (1901) 6248. Albenga is the ancient Album Ingaunum or Albingaunum, the
chief
  town of the Ingauni, one of the most important of the Ligurian tribes, whose territory reached as far as Genoa. Under the empire it was a municpium; an inscription records the restoration of the walls, forum, harbour, &c., by Constantius A.D. 354. A little way out-side the town to the E. is a well-preserved Roman
bridge
  nearly 500 ft. long and 112 ft. wide, with ro arches, each,with a span of 37 ft. It belonged to the
coast
  road and is now known as Ponte Lunge. To the S. of the town is a conspicuous
monument
 , 27 ft. high, in the form of a rectangular pillar, resembling a tomb; but as there is no trace of a
door
  to a sepulchral chamber it may be. a shrine. In the town itself there are no Roman remains; but there is a good
Gothic
 
cathedral
  in brick, and an interesting octagonal
baptistery
 , attributed to the 8th or 9th century, the arches being supported by ancient columns, and the vaulting
decorated with mosaics. Some of the medieval palaces of Albenga have lofty brick towers.
See A. d'Andrade in Relazione dell' Ufficio Regionale per la Con servazione dei monumenti del Piemonte e della Liguria (Turin, 1899), 114 seq.
